Specific Guidelines for I/O Supported Standards
GTLP (Gunning Transceiver Logic Plus)
The Gunning Transceiver Logic Plus, or GTL+ standard is a high-speed bus standard
(JESD8.3) first used by the Pentium Pro Processor. This standard requires a differential
amplifier input buffer and a open-drain output buffer. The negative terminal of the
differential input buffer is referenced to the V
REF
pin.
A sample circuit illustrating a valid termination technique for GTL+ with external parallel
termination and unconnected V
CCO
is shown in Figure 6-38.
GTLP_DCI Usage
GTL+ does not require a V
CCO
voltage. However, for GTLP_DCI, V
CCO
must be connected
to 1.5V. GTLP_DCI provides single termination to V
CCO
for inputs or outputs.
A sample circuit illustrating a valid termination technique for GTLP_DCI with internal
parallel driver and receiver termination is shown in Figure 6-39.
